Choose a plain spritz biscuit if you want a classic option with a clearly stated serving size. If a milk chocolate, iced or butter version is what you’re after, choose that specific variety instead. Compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact variety, and check the pack size and storage instructions. A stated serving size doesn’t mean each biscuit is individually wrapped.
If you’re planning one biscuit break, check the stated serving size, the number of servings and the storage instructions after opening. A serving listed on the label doesn’t automatically mean each biscuit is individually wrapped.
Plain, milk chocolate, iced and butter are different varieties. Compare the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information for the one you want to buy.
Choose a pack size that suits the number of biscuit breaks you expect to have. Also check the date and how to store the pack after opening.
Start with the variety you want to eat. Then check that the serving sizes, pack size and storage instructions fit your week.

|---|---|---|
| Serving size and storage | Check the number of grams per serving and the storage instructions after opening.

| Flavour and ingredients | Choose between plain, milk chocolate, iced and butter varieties. Compare the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information per 100 g for each variety. | If I’m choosing a biscuit specifically for its chocolate coating or buttery flavour, I also want to know which ingredients it contains.

For anyone looking for a milk chocolate spritz biscuit. The pack contains 150 g; check the number of biscuits and the serving size if you’re planning one biscuit break.
If you have allergies, check the label for milk, soya and wheat, as well as warnings about possible traces of nuts and sesame. Don’t assume the biscuits are individually wrapped without checking the packaging.
No. A serving tells you how much is listed as a portion for nutritional purposes, not how the biscuits are packaged. If you’re looking for individually wrapped biscuits, check that the pack explicitly says so.
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variety. The plain and butter varieties described list milk and wheat; the milk chocolate variety described also lists soya. Check the label for any warnings, too.
First compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then consider how many grams you plan to eat during each biscuit break. The Voedingscentrum recommends comparing products per 100 g when looking at their nutritional information side by side.
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. For the long-life spritz biscuits described, store in a cool, dry place and seal the pack after opening. For bakery spritz biscuits, also check the date on the pack you receive.
